Songs not syncing after disabling iTunes Match

I subscribed to iTunes Match a week ago and uploaded my library.
Then I enabled iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S and my iPad2.
Yesterday I decided to disable iTunes Match on my iOS devices and synced them with my MacBook again.
Now the problem:
About half of the songs cannot be synced anymore to the iOS devices. There is no system, which songs are not synced. Some are my own MP3s, some are buyed M4As, some are matched M4As. But there is more: The same song can be synced to the iPhone, but not to the iPad and vice versa. The behavious seems to be completely random.
Software versions:
Mac OS X 10.7.3
iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
iOS 5.1
Yesterday I upgraded both devices to iOS 5.1.1, but the problem persists.

Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
Size: Stream
Data rate: 256 kbit/s
The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

Playlists not syncing after dumping iTunes match

there are many threads addressing this issue, but none that perfectly match my problem... i got itunes match and hated it so i turned it off on my phone and comp and decided to resync my music the old fashioned way - via usb. i selected the playlists i wanted to sync. the songs all showed up but not in any playlists. i need playlists! i've scoured the threads but can't seem to make it work. HELP!

Just like to add my situation to this:
I had a similar issue. Itunes Match worked perfectly for me, but when I wanted to turn it off on my phone, I also attempted to sync via the USB and the playlsits disappeared. After cycling the itunes match setting on my iphone and my computer, as well as performing the troubleshooting Michael provided, it began to sync properly. The issue should be solved, but weird that it happens in the first place!

Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Problems Syncing music Manually after Disabling Itunes Match

I recently disabled iTunes match and since doing so I have been unable to manually transfer music to my iphone 4 or transfer purchases from my iphone to my itunes... anyone have a clue to how I might fix this? It's very wierd, it's almost like my computer doesn't recognize my iphone as being assocaited with my account..

Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

Very strange stuff happening after disabling iTunes Match on iPhone - letter headings are wrong?

So I finally got fed up of Match today when my Music.app crashed and would not open at all. I've had all the problems with artwork and playlists not showing up then appearing then disappearing again but persevered with it as I had paid and waited ages for upload but this was the final straw. I switched Match off on iPhone and switched phone off and on. Having done this it would open again but the letter headings for artist, song, album, etc are now wrong. All the A artists are listed under K, B under L and so on until P artists which are listed under Z. All artists, songs and albums with titles beginning Q onward are listed under 123. I have attached a photo to show what I mean:
Has anyone else experienced this? I will also add that even after switching off Match on iPhone, signing out of iTunes store and syncing iPhone with iTunes I still seem to have Match on and still am missing artwork which should be there. The whole thing is a total shambles!

Hi, thanks for the answer. I had already tried the above steps and it still did not fix the issue with the letters. I also still had cloud symbols against some artists/albums although only songs on the phone appeared to actually show up.
I seem to now have resolved the issue by restoring the phone. Certainly the heading letter issue is no more and the music seems to be back to the state it was in before I put on Match which is surprising but pleasing. Best of all my artwork is working again. Hallelujah!
I have never restored it before in 18 months and wasn't sure to what extent the phone is restored so I am happy to see everything seems to be back to normal even remembering passwords and so on. Hopefully I will see some general improvements in performance of the phone and I will try Match again an a couple of months if/when I hear it has improved!

IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
Thanks for any Replies

Genres not syncing correctly in iTunes Match.

On iTunes, everything looks great: 20 genres, no duplicates. On my iPhone however, I have 3 identical copies of certain genres (31 total). What's the deal?

ITunes and ipod do not sync after loading itunes 10.3.1

The system gets stuck on "verifying your ipod". The Windows 7/64 bit is now recognizing my ipod as a USB mass storage device. Is there anyway to make sure this doesn't happen again. Each time there is an upgrade my iTunes does not sync with my ipod, it crashes with not being able to update my library with not enough memory and my windows operating system recognizes my ipod as a USB mass storage device.
This has happen for every upgrade and its not fair!!!
Each time i've had to uninstall the the upgrade, rename my itunes library then reinstall and it begins to work again. This time it did not work. Does someone have another solution?
I cannot restore my ipod because iTunes freezes and then shuts down.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Try restart.
If that fails to solve the issue, try reset, and so on.

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900 songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files). However, it still does not work.

I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."
